About
Are you a therapist with clients you think may benefit from DBT? Earn CEs while learning the fundamentals of the DBT Biosocial Framework and how/when to refer compassionately! More than just a set of skills, DBT is built on a foundation that explains the profound impact of traumatic invalidation and how to make compassionate, trauma-informed referrals to help clients create a "Life Worth Living." At the center of this framework is the Biosocial Theory, which describes how biology and environment interact to contribute to emotional dysregulation and relational difficulties. This virtual course equips you with a deeper understanding of these dynamics, offering practical strategies to recognize invalidation in clients, reduce stigma, and make more effective treatment decisions–whether through direct intervention or thoughtful referral.
